the first cyclist to pass the Summit Lodge on the way up the Admiral Hill
those in the front 10.....
making good progress
getting ready for the final exertion of the day
the big middle group....
all going strong
the hoardes start to arrive....
the cycle race passes by The Summit Lodge
getting ready for the final climb of the day....
so, this is a cycle race, right?
amazing how many four-wheel vehicles accompany the cyclists!
27 degrees and about to climb the Admiral Hill....
The cycle race provided lots of interest for our alpacas!
The Summit Lodge ( www.summitlodge.co.nz) - complete with our wildflower meadow...the cyclists would probably love a soak in our spa!
